And I forgot about Normandy! German U boats were on our coast and out at sea attacking our ships. As they were also an ally of Imperial Japan, who had deliberately ATTACKED OUR NAVY at Pearl Harbor, we invaded Normandy, France to put an end to the European war. Feel free to put up some more wars and battles that didn't threaten US interests.

If you claim that the US had something to gain by D-Day, and that was the reason for it all, I think that's an insult to all the US, Canadian and other soldiers who died on those beaches. I don't think it would be wise to tell their relatives that: "they died for US interests" I'd keep it at something like: "They died for freedom" BTW, why 'US interests'? Why not 'UK interests' Gulf war 1 wasn't started out of US interests, but out of Iraqi interests. They wanted the oil from Kuweit. Starting a war is never pointless to the ones that start it, as long as they win. The ones that join in are usually trying to end the war, wich is the best reason for going to war in the first place. One more thing, there were wars before the US ever existed. They couldn't have been about US interests, now could they? Does that mean that they were all pointless? |

The United States is not altruistic, they do not go into any war without getting something (see Jamoni's post, that you so quickly dismissed before). The US and her citizens come first, and that means looking out for her best interests before anyone elses. That is how countries survive. Quote:

I'm trying to point out here, that every country is allowed to defend itself if necessary, and no country should start a war for other reasons then defending themselves or others. If he meant: 'The US should only go to war when US interests are at stake', then he should have said so. Quote:

I never claimed the US to be a charity organisation, that's what you made out of it. |
